How to Serve High Protein Blueberry Cake Donuts

These donuts are perfect on their own, but why not get a little creative? Drizzle them with a bit of honey or sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top for extra sweetness.

Tips to Make High Protein Blueberry Cake Donuts

• Swap the flours if you’re feeling adventurous. Almond flour can be replaced with oat flour if you prefer.
• Add a bit of zest: A splash of lemon juice or some grated lemon peel can brighten the flavor!
• Storage tip: If you want them perfectly fresh, freeze individually, then bag them together once solid.

Variation

Feeling like a flavor twist? Try adding dark chocolate chips for a richer taste or a dash of cinnamon for a cozy vibe. For a vegan version, substitute the eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based yogurt.
